Not long after.

The two gray-headed old men were escorted to Cao Cao.

"Are you Pound Company, Sima Hui?"

Cao Cao looked at the two of them coldly.

Sima Hui glanced at Cao Cao and snorted coldly, but remained silent.

Pang Degong took a deep breath and bowed to Cao Cao:"This old man is Pang Degong. He has met the King of Wei."

Sima Hui was startled and looked at Pang Degong anxiously, as if he couldn't believe that his old friend was so polite to Cao Cao.

"Mr. Pang De, do you know your guilt?"

Cao Cao asked coldly.

Pang Degong looked blank and asked:"Forgive me for being ignorant, but please make it clear to me, what is the crime of this old man? Cao

Cao said solemnly:"Your Pang family helped Liu Bei and became an enemy of this king. Isn't it considered a crime?""

"Liu Bei is in charge of Jingzhou. My Pang family is a big family in Jingzhou. If we want to survive, we can only use Liu Bei's influence."

"This was forced by the situation, and Lao Cao did not think he was guilty."

Pang Degong was not ashamed and fearful, and defended himself frankly.

Cao Cao's face was solemn, and his eyes were somewhat appreciative of Pang Degong's magnanimity.

Cao Yuan, standing aside, heard the possibility of surrender from his words.

If If he wanted to be loyal to Liu Bei, he would definitely call Liu Bei the King of Han. How could he call Liu Bei by his first name?

Thinking of this,

Cao Yuan said:"Since you serve Liu Bei, it is forced by the situation. At present, the King of Wei has gone to Xiangyang and Jingzhou. The situation has reversed. Are you willing to surrender to the King of Wei?"

Pang Degong was silent.

Cao Cao frowned, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

If Pang Degong didn't know the current affairs and dared not to bow down and surrender, he would definitely kill him to frighten the disobedient people in Jingzhou. He let out a sigh Later,

Pang Degong straightened his clothes and bowed deeply to Cao Cao:"The King of Wei has the best counselor in the world to assist him. It is indeed destiny. I am willing to obey the destiny and lead my Pang family to submit to the King of Wei!""

He surrendered.

The head of the Pang family, one of the four surnames in Jingzhou, did not hesitate at all, and he bowed down and surrendered.

Cao Cao's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and a strange color flashed across his eyes.

Sima Hui, who was standing beside him, was horrified. His expression changed, his eyes were shocked and confused, as if he couldn't believe that his best friend had betrayed Liu Bei.

"Brother De Gong!"

"As a subject of the King of Han, how could you betray the King of Han so easily? Where is your loyalty and shame?"

Sima Hui asked sharply, with a heartbroken expression.

"As the lord of Jingzhou, Liu Bei should protect the people of Jingzhou."

"But when Xiangyang City was defeated, in order not to be overtaken by the Wei army, he did not hesitate to pretend to be a Wei army and set fire to Xiangyang City, frightening hundreds of thousands of people to flee south, and to stop the Wei army for him."

"During the battle at Dangyang, he was afraid that the Wei cavalry would catch up, so he even burned down the Dangyang Bridge and abandoned us all."

"Such a ruthless and unjust hypocrite is not worthy of being the Lord of Jingzhou, let alone the loyalty of my Pang family to him!"

"It is only right that I, Duke Pound, betray him!"

Pang Degong's voice was stern, and he exposed all Liu Bei's cruelty and cruelty.

Sima Hui was speechless after being refuted, and looked at Pang Degong blankly.

After a while,

Sima Huicai's face turned red, and he said sternly:"I told you earlier. However, what the King of Han did was out of necessity. He sacrificed some Jingzhou people to save more Jingzhou people. How could you not understand his difficulties?

Looking at his stubborn old friend, Pang Degong shook his head and sighed:"Brother Decao, you have been too deeply deceived by Liu Bei and your disciple Kong Ming. You have lost your mind. No matter how unbearable Liu Bei is, you will always find a reason for him."."

Sima Hui was speechless again.

But Pang Degong didn't bother to argue anymore, and turned around and bowed to Cao Cao again.

"The old man has recognized Liu Bei's true face, and is willing to submit to the King of Wei, help the King of Wei to defeat Liu Bei, and save the people of Jingzhou from that hypocrite."

"If your Majesty is unwilling to forgive me for my past sins, I will have no complaints. I just ask your Majesty to let go of my Pang clan members and deal with me alone!"

After saying that, Pang Degong knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao smiled.

He was very satisfied that Pang Degong could submit happily.

He scolded Liu Bei again and exposed Liu Bei's true face. It was an unexpected surprise.

How could he not accept Duke Pound's request for surrender?

"Mr. Pang, please get up quickly!"

Cao Cao helped him up with his own hands, and laughed and said:"If you can repent, I will not blame you anymore. The past is in the past. I will see how your Pang family behaves in the future!"

Pang Degong breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Cao Cao again.

Cao Cao ordered Pang Degong to be sent back to Xiangyang Pang Mansion to rest, and he must be treated with courtesy.

Pang De announced and left. Before leaving, he read Sima Hui glanced at him, shook his head, sighed, and then left.

"Sima Hui!"

Cao Cao's smile faded and he looked sternly at the Crouching Dragon Master.

"Mr. Pang De has suddenly come to his senses. Are you still going to persist in being loyal to that big-eared thief?"

Sima Hui's body trembled, and he heard murderous intent from Cao Cao's words.

But he raised his head, upright and awe-inspiring, and faced Cao Cao fearlessly.

"My beloved disciple Kong Ming is the mastermind of the King of Han!"

"As the teacher of Kong Ming, I, Sima Hui, if I betray the King of Han, surrender to you, and become the enemy of the King of Han, where will my teacher's morality and my sense of shame be?"

"Cao Mengde, kill me if you want. You want me to surrender to you and become an enemy of my beloved disciple. It is absolutely impossible!"

Sima Hui generously refused to surrender and closed his eyes, as if he was going to die calmly.

Cao Cao frowned, and murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes.

At this time,

Cao Yuan next to him let out a sarcastic laugh.

Sima Hui fiercely Opening his eyes, he stared at Cao Yuan with angry eyes, obviously not knowing why Cao Yuan was laughing and mocking him.

"Zhuge Liang used his poisonous plan to burn Xinye, burning thousands of innocent people in Xinye to death!"

"The plan of using people to cross the river was so vicious that he sacrificed hundreds of thousands of people to buy time for Liu Bei to escape."

"You, Sima Hui, have taught such a ruthless and unscrupulous disciple, you are worthy of the word"teacher's morality"!"

Cao Yuan took a step forward, with a solemn voice, and slapped Sima Hui's head in the face and scolded him angrily.

Sima Hui's face turned red and his expression was astonished. For a moment, he was speechless to refute Cao Yuan's scolding.

"King!"

Cao Yuan turned around and bowed his hand to Cao Cao

"Such a shameless person, killing him would actually help him!"

"I thought it would be better to cut off his ears and nose and let him go to Jiangling to give Zhuge Liang a bloody warning!"

As soon as these words came out, Sima Hui changed his color in shock.
